I've been here for 3 years and I still don't know where "dutonian" came from. At this point I'm too afraid to ask.

It predates me (6 years), I don't know the origin either, except for coming from "Duty". At least we're not Pageys. There can be only one. The real curse of PagerDuty, though, is calling everything "-duty". Parental leave is BabyDuty, the training department is LearningDuty, the LGBTQ ERG is RainbowDuty, you get the idea. Hat-tip to our veterans ERG for not going with DutyDuty, although I hope it was in the running a…

Google had an average tenure of 2.5 years for 25 years (before the current layoffs). So, it's bullshit reason given by an entitled generation.

Where do you think their high salary comes from?

Small chance you worked anywhere near it, but just wanted to say the logging in OpsGenie is amazing - I kinda love working on anything that requires me to dive into the OpsGenie logs because they are so verbose and well done.

This might surprise you, but I've worked a lot on that logs feature, including two new architectures for the infrastrucutre of it over 3 years.

Well, good job on it! Seriously I wish this was the standard for any enterprise SaaS tool. Debugging these things is always a pain without logs like it. Useful and performative, plus easy and intuitive to use.

My only complaint was remembering it was /log and /logs would 404 - so I just made my own redirect rule for it haha.
